Take a walk on wild side in Kerry

A WISE man of our acquaintance, who’s as healthy as a proverbial trout, made a sweeping statement the other day.

“If more people took up walking, we wouldn’t be long reducing our hospital waiting lists,” he said, and then trotted off.

He’s pushing towards pension age, but starts each day with an hour-long walk when most people are still in bed, is bursting with energy and doesn’t carry an ounce of excess weight. He’s an inspiration to anyone wishing to shake off winter cobwebs and get out into the countryside during Easter.
